Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Annals of Wynnewood Take Two?

by Chautona Havig · 2 Comments

In the last post, I gave a hint about something possibly in the works.  Well, I’m not sure I’m done with the characters of Wynnewood.  There was so much I wanted to add to the third book– or the fourth– but it would have been like the difference between the third Harry Potter book and the fourth.  Not a good thing.

So, I’m wondering… what do you think of a second Wynnewood series?  I am thinking of telling others’ stories in the books.  It would work something like…

Book One- Aurelia is no longer the only Lady Morgan.  Walk with her as her life changes with a new woman in her father’s life, new challenges as she is expected to take her role as a young lady of the castle and yet her crippled state keeps her from being able to do all she should.  Angus moves to the castle and is put to work making all the hinges to the new doors in the new parts of the castle.

Book Two- Liam, the castle baker’s son, has no skill for baking.  While he can produce edible bread and cakes, there is nothing special about it.  His heart is in academia– the world Philip fought so desperately.  Father and son struggle with understanding one another but with Brodor Clarke’s and Philip’s help, Liam is trained to become the next steward of Wynnewood Castle.

Book Three- Letty’s midwife apprenticeship is coming to a close.  With more and more people living in the castle every year, it only makes sense to bring in a midwife there to attend the women of the castle and help the haelan, Briggs.  Whatever happened to the silly tattletale that once plagued the boys of Wynnewood?  I have a feeling she’ll make an appearance in the caves of Sceadu as well…

Throughout all three books, Brodor Clarke’s troubles that begin in Beneath the Cloak will be explored and expanded.  Philip and Dove will appear, of course, and there’ll be new and fun characters and adventures.

So, what do you think?  Should there be another trilogy about Wynnewood, or should I focus more on the Not-So-Fairy Tales, the new fantasy series in my mind, and the science fiction book that I have going for the youth age group?

    Hmm… Another trilogy does sound interesting… but so does the Not-So-Fairy-Tales… I don’t know. You have the stories planned out so much, won’t it drive you crazy NOT to write them?? I know it would me… 😀

    To the KING be all the glory!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 602: A Chat with Paul Headworth
byChautona Havig

Christians are fond of saying that Christ has already defeated Satan, but sometimes, it sure doesn’t seem like it. Listen in as I chat with Paul Headworth about his novel exploring this in his book, Prophetic Redemption.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

Headworth focuses on the difficulties of cases and what happens when things go wrong. By the time we got done talking, I knew I’d have to read it.

Prophetic Redemption by Paul Headworth

This special novel is geared for the believer and nonbeliever, providing an engaging murder mystery while sowing many positive and possibly life-changing messages.

A judge from the 32nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Publishing Book Award cited, “The masterful use of suspense is key to maintaining reader engagement and greatly enhances the story’s captivating appeal. Additionally, the rich character motivations and development, especially evident in Charlie’s relentless pursuit of justice for his wife and son, alongside Paul’s transformative journey, render these characters both believable and relatable. Moreover, this book defies the stereotype that inspirational works lack depth. Instead of burdening readers with recipes, it proves that such books can be emotionally resonant and deeply thought-provoking.”

I am officially halfway through writing my upcoming historical Christmas novel, Dear Uncle Nick! Writing this story—which centers around a cozy, small-town advice column in a 1934 farming community—has been such an encouragement even to me!
To keep my momentum going so this book is ready for you by Black Friday, I’m treating myself to a little joy: opening a beautiful @ArcherandOlive Advent Box "gift" every time I complete 5,000 words. 45K means Box 3 is officially MINE! But now how to use this amazing journal? HELP!
Because this book releases on Black Friday without a preorder, I’d love for you to follow along here so you don’t miss the release day announcement. Your prayers and encouragement mean so much to me (and to Eddie Morten--I'm sure of it!)

Dear Uncle Nick, Our town has a lot of people in n Dear Uncle Nick,
Our town has a lot of people in need—no mistake about that.
We can’t meet them all, but we can do what we can to help.
Everyone loves a good box social, but that can be expensive, especially this time of year.
I propose a “dessert social.” We apply the same premise, but the boxes only hold enough dessert for two. Penny bids can be augmented by work or other goods. Folks can even buy the “augments.”
What do you think?
Hungry for cinnamon rolls!

Ever heard of a box social? 📦✨ In 1934, during the height of the Great Depression, communities had to get creative to help neighbors in need.
This "unprinted letter" from the archives of my upcoming historical Christmas novel, Dear Uncle Nick, shows the exact heartbeat of a small farming town trying to survive winter with a little sweetness and a lot of grit.
✍️ The Question: If you were bidding on a dessert box for two tonight... what dessert would you hope is inside? Let me know in the comments!

I’m currently sitting at 42k+ words for Dear Uncle Nick, plotting a storyline that is giving me all the feels.
Meet our Banker dude. He can handle the town's finances under the pressure of the Great Depression, but put him in a social setting and he completely freezes up. He is incredibly shy. But winter is coming, and he's being pressured into a marriage of convenience to save his late friend's daughter from the freezing 1934 streets. ❄️💍
Despite his quiet, protective pining and our main couple's semi-secret admirer flirting through the newspaper columns, this book is more than just romance. It's a huge found family of cast that I'm loving.
Only a few thousand words left until the 45k milestone and Box #3! Let’s go! ⌨️✨

Dear Uncle Nick,
Do you remember last year when the water main burst and flooded the picnic grounds near the town square? Everyone had so much fun skating on it once it froze over.
Why can't we do that again, but deliberately this time?
I enjoyed watching the little ones learning to skate and knowing there was something wholesome for the young folks to do on their "dates."
How can we make this happen again, (without costly pipe repairs)?

Be sure to leave your answers for "Hopeful" and stay tuned. I got to open another box today!

October 1939. They fled Vienna looking for sanctuary.
They found a trap.
Following the Anschluss, Austria is no longer recognizable.
For its Jewish citizens, survival means listening to the whispers—whispers of a
hidden chalet where a courageous woman keeps hunted children safe, fed, and far
from Nazi hands. Driven by desperation, parents face an agonizing choice: part
with their children forever, or risk their lives by keeping them close.
Hans Hartmann arrives at Chalet Versteck with a hardened
heart and a terrified little girl in tow. He found young Grete abandoned at a
train station and couldn't leave her behind. But the chalet is far from the
haven they were promised.
The air here is thick with secrets. Children vanish in the
dead of night. And before Hans can uncover the truth, a high-ranking Nazi
officer is murdered right inside their sanctuary.
With the Gestapo closing in, the chalet becomes a pressure
cooker of suspicion. To save Grete and escape with his own life, Hans must
untangle a web of deadly lies. In a place where trust is a liability, Hans will
have to find a glimmer of faith to guide them out of the darkness—before the
killer strikes again.
